To Get Stronger, I’m Forced to Grind Their Affection

Chapter 77

Returning to the previous night—

In the middle of the night, Luolin opened his eyes, looked at Ailuka sleeping beside him, reached out to touch her head, then sat up slightly.

Now Luolin needed to confirm some things.

"Is the favorability enough?"

"Already upgraded for Master, would you like to see the new functions of the 'Favorability Card'?"

"Look, of course I want to look!"

Luolin couldn't help but feel a bit excited. Having an extra trump card at this time was the best thing for him, as it could save his life at critical moments.

So Luolin began to check it out.

"Favorability Card new: Can 'refine' the card's attributes, all attribute bonuses are converted one-to-one into attribute points for free distribution, consuming favorability points."

Luolin was stunned. It really was one scheme after another. This system was trying every way to extract points from him.

"Of course, each card costs 1000 for the first time, then doubles each subsequent time. However, I'll give you one free opportunity now, seeing as you have no points left, Master."

"Damn..."

Luolin didn't even know how to complain anymore, but there was no other way.

What Luolin needed to consider now was how to make good use of this opportunity.

If it couldn't enable him to use that 'special weapon' ability, then it would be completely useless.

First, Luolin removed the card and looked at his current ability values.

Luolin

Level: 11

Class: None

Strength: 110

Intelligence: 70

Agility: 110

Burst: 110

...

Except for the intelligence attribute being somewhat low, everything else was basically the same.

So what about the cards?

Luolin currently possessed three cards in total, belonging to Ailuka, Shirna, and Luna respectively.

Among them, Ailuka's card had already reached level three and naturally had the highest attributes. Since he could freely distribute points, he would of course choose Ailuka's card if possible.

Card·Ailuka

Strength +110

Agility +70

Burst +30

Special Attribute Bonus: Critical Hit Protection 5%

Current Quality: Common

Current Level: 3 stars

*The tsundere half-dragon girl is puzzled by your actions in her heart and wants to beat you to death.

The three attributes add up to a total of two hundred points.

If he allocated them properly, it would be just enough to bring all three of Luolin's attributes to 150, but Luolin still needed to consider another matter.

That is, whether or not to allocate them.

If he 'refined' the card, the points needed for future refinements would double, and Luolin wasn't sure about future circumstances.

Moreover, if he gave up using this so-called 'special weapon,' he actually had another option, which was to max out a single attribute.

For example, extreme strength, extreme agility, extreme burst, and other such builds.

But in that case, Luolin would lose his weapon for now.

This was a choice concerning the future.

Luolin thought about it for a while, then asked the favorability system:

'Are you sure this broken stick can actually be used?'

Luolin asked, and the favorability system gave a definite answer.

[Yes, Master, there's no mistake about this. This thing is actually a very rare and powerful weapon, it's just unknown why it appeared in such a place. Actually, I think being able to obtain it might also be considered Master's good fortune.]

[Of course, the decision still has to be made by Master.]

Of course you can not care, after all, you just need to get my favorability points and be done with it.

Luolin complained helplessly in his heart, but regardless, after receiving such a reply, Luolin finally made up his mind.

'Forget it, future matters can be dealt with later. What's most important now is the present. Let's refine it.'

Luolin said.

['Card·Ailuka' has been refined, please reallocate attributes.]

Then, Luolin changed the card's attributes to the following: Strength +40, Intelligence +80, Agility +40, Burst +40.

After equipping it, all of his own attributes became 150.

He picked up that special weapon from the bedside again, and it bloomed with blue light. The method of use naturally appeared in Luolin's mind.

....

So now, the weapon in Luolin's hand transformed into a shield, blocking the previous flame bombardment.

A faint blue light emerged, like a protective shield enveloping Luolin, which also protected him from the erosion of those flames.

'Big guy, do you think you've won?'

Luolin dragged his already battered body. Actually, his most serious injuries weren't from just now, but old wounds accumulated from the past few days. That paladin had clearly told him not to engage in strenuous activity, yet Luolin was still fighting now. It was really quite a burden on his body.

But no matter what, Luolin had to get through this battle. This was the last battle. If he fell here, it would be too regrettable.

'Come on, the real battle is only just beginning now.'

The shield in Luolin's hand transformed into a longsword again. He faced the demon ape at an angle, and his momentum actually suppressed the opponent.

Everything before was to figure out this guy's strength and movement patterns. Now, it was time to get serious.
